I think the spoken word samples add a nice touch to this.  Great synth work as always.

Makes me want to explore old forgotten temples on an alien moon

I really like the shooting star like sound that comes in and out with panning. Is it difficult to make this kind of shimmery effect? I've been meaning to look into making similar sounds but I have no idea how to describe them so I don't know what to look for!

relaxing and warm but with piercing shimmering bubbling synths...very cool

thanks! This was me on default on most levels... but the speech samples gave it some interest, I agree...

Thank you! If you mean that is there in the last minute or so, it is a preset from EMU vintage plus module, though I put quite a bit effects (Strymon Volante) in there too...

Thanks! This seems to be my natural tempo nowadays... must try some other tempos too in the future

Ah perfect, thanks for the info! I checked a bit more, the Strymon looks like it is a lot of fun

Great track, cold and warm at the same time!

Feels big... like a big open sonic scape. Tons of great synths but nothing over done.  Unfolds slowly like a journey. Nice work as always!

[/quote] speaking about Strymon effect pedals, I have several (Big Sky, Volante, Mobius, Timeline). They are all great, but if you have to have just one, Big Sky is the one. It´s delay side is absolutely gorgeous... you can go a very long way with just that box. The others are of course excellent too. If you are a hardware musician a good mix of outboard effects would be Big Sky and a bunch of cheap rack units and/or pedals for the more coloured reverbs and lo-fi things.
